I will admit I did no review all 97 pages of posts here, but I did go through the first 10 and did not see an answer to my question, so here it is:

What file types are allowed to be used? And what are the size restrictions for the icon and medal images?

Thanks

Any image type that is supported by browsers is valid, usually this would be jpg, gif and png and some other related image types (i.e. jpeg). There are no size restrictions for any of the images, but I'm pretty sure if you make the image too big things might not look as nice.

Thanks. Figured out I was not filling in the FULL URL to the medals. I'll learn one of these days.
And size does make a difference. Your setting size works and looks great. Most of my medals I am setting to 60 x 60.
One other questions: For the category descriptions displayed on the medals page, I would like to bold the text. Tried using what I thought was the bbCode values of <b> and </b>, but guess I was wrong. Can I bold the category description text?

help me please
Thanks

If there's no signature, its rather hard to put output into the signature area. There's nothing I can do. You can edit your postbit/postbit_legacy template to make whatever changes you want but that's the extent of things. Your other option of course is to display it somewhere other than the signature or force users to have a signature (would require a hack mos likely).

You don't need full urls for images, I use relative links and everything works just fine. As for image sizes I've seen some odd dimensions used as well, I just looked at a site with 130px x 200px award images and they look just fine on the awards page, the awards tab and in the awards showcase.

Do not understand what you mean by 'relative links'.

Thanks for the education. Will add this to my notes for future reference.

Any future plans to maybe add "Reputation" points to the automation option?
